Freelance quote form template
For designers, writers, developers and other freelancers who quote project by project. It asks the things that quietly change a price, such as where the work will be used, whether the deadline is fixed and how many people sign it off, and when a client wants changes to something that already exists, it asks to see it. Work signed off by a committee also asks who settles disagreements, which is where revision rounds multiply.

Questions to consider
- Does the usage change your price, for example print or advertising rights?
- How many rounds of revisions are included, and should the form say so?
- Whose name do you need on the brief before you start: the person filling it in, or the person who approves it?
- What's the smallest project you'll quote for?
How to use the responses
Read the approvers answer before you price: work that a committee signs off usually takes more rounds than work one person approves, so build that into the quote and address the proposal to whoever has the final say. A fixed deadline that's close means a rush rate or a smaller scope. For anyone who asked for your suggestion on budget, send two options at different sizes and let them choose.
How to customize and share it
- 1Change the deliverables examples to the kind of work you do, so clients describe it in terms you can price.
- 2Set the budget ranges to fit your rates, and keep the option for clients who want a suggestion.
- 3Add the link to your portfolio, email signature and social bios, and check new requests in the dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
What should a freelance quote form include?
What needs making, where it will be used, the deadline, who approves it and a budget range. Those answers change a price more than anything else.
Should freelancers ask for a budget?
Yes, as a range with an option to ask for your suggestion. It saves you quoting for work the client can't pay for.
Why ask who signs off the work?
More people approving means more feedback rounds. Knowing up front lets you price the revisions honestly.
Can I put this quote form on my portfolio site?
Yes. Use this template copies it into your account, where you can edit every question and then share a link or embed it on your site.
